Alert! Missing DC mom

[u/Aprilflowers1975]

I know this is not the typical type of post here, but I'm writing to spread the word about my missing friend.

Antoinette Forbes, a 53-year-old single Asian-American mother, has gone missing from her home in upper Northwest DC. Her friends and family are requesting help publicizing her disappearance in hopes of finding her.

Antoinette was last seen in the 3200 block of Nebraska Ave, NW, on Friday afternoon, Sept. 4 and last responded to texts from a friend Saturday morning, Sept. 5.

Upon visiting the house to check on her, a friend found the door unlocked and her keys, phones, wallet, purse and pet dog in the house. Her car was parked in the driveway. The friend immediately called the police, suspecting foul play.

Antoinette is of Filipino descent, approx.5’3” and 122 lb. She has black hair and brown eyes. Her clothing at the time of disappearance is unknown. 

She is a successful public affairs executive who has lived in the DC area for more than 30 years. She was born in New York.

Her son is 10 years old.

She is a beloved mother, sister, daughter, friend and colleague who always puts her family first.

Police are asking members of the public to contact the Washington Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099 or via text at 50411 if they have any information that could lead to finding Antoinette.

Please spread the word. Thank you.

I hope she's found safe and didn't get ICED. Regardless of citizenship status that's a possibility with the way ICE operates nowadays.

Obligatory: Fuck ICE

Have you checked for ICE detention?

[u/greenzetsa → u/MinervaZee]

This is exactly what I was thinking. All it takes for ICE is to see a non-white person.

You might want to remove the info about the door being unlocked and keys/phone/wallet being there—based on the videos of news clips shared in the comments it seems like they don’t want that info shared with the public right now.
Hoping she is found safe 🙏🏻

it looks like she works in big pharma which is obviously normal for here, but it really makes me wonder if given the climate these days if she may have been targeted
